Last night I got to attend one of the best parties I’ve been to in New York City. The Out 100 party last night was held at high-end restaurant Cipriani on Wall Street. It’s in the old National City Bank building – a massive space with (I’d guess) 100-foot ceilings. I’ve never been great at […]

Appalachian State over Michigan was supposed to be a “fluke.” But with the college basketball world watching some school named Gardner-Webb win AT Kentucky, 84-68 (yes, by 16 points), the day after Div.
